Milo Yiannopoulos tops annual list of highest-paid journalists

In 2022 it looked like the journalist’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (June 25) that Yiannopoulos is the highest-paid journalist in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between May 2024 and May 2025, a nearly $40 million lead over his closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The British journalist has an estimated net worth of $215 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Yiannopoulos Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “London Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderyiannopoulos - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Milo) and a fashion line called “Milo Yiannopoulos Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Milo fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
